Last abortion facility in Arkansas announces ‘temporary’ closure
Arkansas’s last abortion facility announced that it would close down “temporarily” on Thursday, September 1, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the enactment of the state’s trigger law.
In its announcement on its website, Little Rock Family Planning Services directs women seeking abortions to visit Prochoice.org, the website of the National Abortion Federation (NAF), of which it was a member. NAF will direct women to the nearest affiliate abortion business.
Little Rock Family Planning Services had been committing abortions through 21 weeks of pregnancy — the current age at which children have a chance of surviving outside the womb with medical assistance. The website admits that not all of the children killed at this age are aborted for so-called medical reasons such as a fetal diagnosis. (Life-affirming alternatives are available, and intentional killing is not medically necessary).
Little Rock Family Planning Services claimed to “specialize in second trimester surgical abortion (commonly known as ‘late abortion’) where a gynecologist with special training removes a pregnancy using medication, small dilating sticks called Laminaria, special instruments, and vacuum curettage.” This is a basic explanation lacking serious details of what is called a Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) or dismemberment abortion. The “special instruments” are clamps that allow the abortionist to tear the arms and legs off of a child and then crush her skull. Watch the video below to see former abortionist Dr. Kathi Aultman explain the procedure.

The abortion business’s “special needs” page boasts, “Many Arkansas Ob/Gyn physicians and genetic counselors have entrusted their patients with fetal abnormalities to us.” This is because most Ob/Gyns do not commit abortions with good reason. Such procedures are not health care.
The Arkansas Human Life Protection Act was initially passed in 2019 and included a provision to activate the law when Roe v. Wade was overturned. On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that did just that, ending the nearly five decades of forced legalized abortion on states. Attorney General Leslie Rutledge certified the Supreme Court decision that same day, making the law official. Since then, committing or attempting to commit an abortion is a felony in Arkansas, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
Federal lawsuits that had been filed against Arkansas’s pro-life laws by Planned Parenthood and Little Rock Family Planning Services have been dropped in the last few weeks.
